Hours after Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz announced his endorsement of Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton on Wednesday, evidence surfaced that the family behind another ubiquitous American corporation apparently echo his sentiment.

According to reports, prominent members of the Walton family — heirs to the Walmart fortune established by company founder Sam Walton — have given a collective nod of approval to Clinton ahead of November’s presidential election.

While many of the former first lady’s supporters oppose some of Walmart’s business practices, the retail giant’s Clinton ties date back at least 30 years.

During her husband’s tenure as Arkansas governor, Hillary Clinton served six years on the Walmart board of directors.

Though she has since walked back some of her support for the corporation, the White House hopeful never completely severed the relationship.

During her first presidential bid in 2008, Clinton opted to return $5,000 donated to her campaign by Walmart’s political action fund.

At the time, she cited a disagreement with the company’s values amid growing disdain for Walmart among left-leaning voters.

Many Democrats were, and still are, upset over Walmart’s reticence to allow employees to unionize. Furthermore, as Western Journalism reported, mounting pressure last year prompted the company to initiate progressive across-the-board minimum wage hikes.

Though Clinton in 2008 seemed to side with Walmart critics in returning the donation and declaring the company does not “reflect the best way to do business and the values that [she thinks] are important in America,” the company’s executives continued to back her.

In fact, many of those executives and other company bigwigs donated tens of thousands of dollars to the 2008 Clinton campaign — none of which was returned by the candidate.

This election cycle, the reported donations from the Waltons have reached well into six-digit territory as just two members of the family have sent the Clinton campaign a combined total of more than $700,000 to the Hillary Victory Fund.

Over the years, the Clinton Foundation has received millions of dollars in donations from the Walmart Foundation and the Walton Family Foundation. A Washington Examiner report stated there is no evidence the family has made any financial contributions to Republican nominee Donald Trump’s campaign.

While Walmart received some extra business earlier this year from social conservatives upset by rival Target’s transgender-friendly bathroom policy, critics of the Waltons’ support for Clinton have threatened online to boycott the company in protest.
